  What’s funny about this comic now is the second one has become very attainable in the years since it was released. The concept still applies though. Some things are a lot harder than they seem on the surface.

    Somebody spent the money on a research team and five years is why it is very attainable now.

    Someone trying to write the code from scratch would still take a research team and years to replicate it from scratch.
